Thanks for funding

As a cancer advocate, I want to thank Gov. Jindal and Chairman Jim Fannin for restoring $700,000 in funding to the Louisiana Breast and Cervical Health Program.

This program is literally a life-saver for women who are low-income, uninsured or underinsured. Without it, many women would delay or completely forego screening which could lead to fewer treatment options and a lower chance of survival.

By funding this vital program, cancers are found earlier, saving money, lives and suffering. I am grateful to our governor, Mr. Fannin and that state legislature for keeping this program alive.
